Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Coffee on Baltimore, we believe that online gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gambling is not a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. It should never be viewed as an investment or income source. Please only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and set strict limits on your spending before you play.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age to access and use our gaming services. This is a legal requirement in Australia. If you are under 18, you are not permitted to gamble or create an account on our platform. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of identity at any time.
If you are under the legal gambling age, please do not proceed.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Please be aware of the following warning signs:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
- Hiding gambling activity from family, friends, or partners
- Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
- Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities due to gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Feeling anxious or irritable when not gambling
- Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
- Failed attempts to reduce or control gambling
- Lying about the extent of your gambling involvement
- Risking relationships, employment, or educational opportunities
If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, it's important to seek help immediately.
